Esophagectomy without thoracotomy in corrosive esophageal stricture - case report -
부식성 식도협착 환자의 비개흉적 식도 적출술 - 2례 보고 -
Abstract
The strictured esophagus is not removed usually in corrosive injury. But corrosion carcinoma and the late complications such as esophago-bronchial fistula, chronic mediastinal abscess, diverticulum can occur in case that strictured & inflamed esophagus be remained. Recently transhiatal esophagectomy is being done with low mortality and morbidity. So we are reporting 2 cases of esophageal stricture in young patients which were treated with transhiatal esophagectomy and esophagocologastrostomy. All of 2 cases were successfully treated and recovered. Postoperative esophageal function tests showed the mild reflux but it did not count clinically.
